TWO Bushey women are offering parenting classes for expectant couples.

Melissa Wallace and Lara Traill have set up a company called Babytastic and are aiming to provide practical advice about caring for a baby, such as calming techniques, feeding, changing and bathing.

Classes will be held at Garston Manor in Horseshoe Lane.

Mother of one Melissa, of Haydon Road, said: "From my own experience, there simply appears to be very little in the way of advice on how to cope with your brand new baby once you bring it home, and for many it can be very scary. We offer help with the practicalities."
